This is a confusing ruling. One of the supreme courts original purposes was to resolve issues between states so they do not spiral into violence. In this case 20 states were officialy for it and 20 against. To denny even hearing the evidence becasue of lack of standing seems a stretch. There is now no legal way to resolve this and Texas has already talked about getting a group of states together to secede from the US and form a new Country.

Trump sighned an oath to defend the US from all enemies foriegn and domestic. That may be part of why he is continuing to fight this.
Confused about the swift ruling? And why the SCOTUS couldn't even take a brief moment to examine the evidence presented in more detail?
Maybe the answer is not so difficult. A legal body of the highest order would never fear politics or popular sentiment in a functioning judicial system. They are above all that, and appointed for life. So what could be their concern?
Or maybe there is a threat to legitimacy? Or possibly they detect a challenge to a system which protects their very existence, although not necessarily their intended function?
Maybe that's the true fear. To avoid having to judge upon a system that is just a facade. A facade which cannot be challenged because it does make an effort to harbor a perceived legitimate justice system.
Self preservation is a very strong incentive. Especially for enlightened ones that detect that they require a functioning nation in order for their proclamations to be honored. Even more so when the jurisdiction is in fact a Plutacracy that is being attacked by a Golden Gollum.
Show me the incentive, I'll show you the outcome.

Presidentual Pardons are irreversible.
Hand them out to the Snowden's, the Assange's, etc. As the lady states, give them thier own show on TNN with a scantily clad knockout as a co-host, and drive the Swamp insane over the upcoming years. Even Ted Nugent and Gary Busey could help out.
There is a nation for the taking.

Some very interesting observations Tx from both your postings above .I will wait to see who is on the Presidential Pardon list . It will be THE ‘tell’ IMO. “There is a hole in reality through which we can look if we wish”
Incredible to think that over 800 years ago the Magna Carta provided amongst other things ‘Swift Justice’. The US Constitution incorporated many of its ideas ,and here we are where the SCOTUS
provides “Swift Injustice”by not even looking ... For many of the reasons you have alluded to .
Paralells must be related . And ,here we are ,looking back to King John ,a real bad ‘un ,not knowing that Peaches in Regalia might not be for him .Bad mistake . You know what they say about being ‘As Happy as Kings’ A lot to digest here I know so I will leave the last words to Frank Zappa .
”The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it is profitable to continue the illusion .At the point at which it becomes to expensive to maintain ,they will just take down the scenery,they wll pull back the curtains ,they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theatre”
The brick wall is almost complete .
